Gas flow through a fluid&d bed is normally streamline and the pattern of flow depends on the bubbles within the bed and their velocities relative to gas. When the gas velocity for fluidization is low compared with the bubble velocity (as in beds of fine particles) a region of gas circulation or a "c

✦ Synopsis
The successive formation of gas bubbles on the gas distributor of a multi-orifice plate in two-dimensional air-fluidized beds was studied both theoretically and experimentally. A brief theory for the initial bubble formation, which reflects the effects of fluidized particles, was developed based on the assumption that the forming bubbles do not coalesce with the foregoing bubbles until they grow up to a suitable enough size to detach themselves from the spout formed on the orifice. Measurements were made on the change in the size and the position of forming bubbles and bubbles immediately after formation in the two-dimensional fluidized beds consisting of particles of different shapes and dia. A good agreement was found between the theoretical and the experimental results.

Harrison and Leung model for spherical bubble formation in fluid&d beds has been extended to account for the dynamics of the emulsion phase. The simplified Davidson-Harrison model is used to obtain the gas and particle velocities in the emulsion phase sad includes the effect of the bubble oressure.
